6. You'll Lose Weight

New York City isn't the easiest place to lose weight, especially in the nine months the weather is sh*t. Gym memberships are expensive, and outdoor jogging can be a nightmare when dodging snow piles, heaving from humid summer heat and rerouting from that wall of pedestrians. In L.A., you can get in a good workout even without a gym membership. There are gyms on the beaches, for goodness sake. Angelenos are more health conscious, too. I kid you not, there's a chain of restaurants called Tender Greens. And vegetarian options on menus are ubiquitous. NYC tapped into the farm-to-table trend years ago, but L.A. has been a fan of "organic" for decades.
